Ford said that if he couldn't redirect TC funds or sell off the streetcars, he'd stick with the current (TC & new streetcar) plans. And that is pretty much what will happen. He's indifferent to the transit (except for when it gets in the way of cars) so, to him, this is a non-issue.. if its...

The conservatives are actually nervous that Ford is in power and worried that he'll screw things up for them come next year's election. The liberals have already cited this as a plus with Ford. Can't really argue with that.

+1. This is funded and on its way. To change now, even in design stage would waste more millions. Ford is about saving $$. Metrolinx and province have no more money to add to this, and will move this forward as currently designed. Same goes for Sheppard. those two projects are not changing. No...

This is true, he's already going to have his hands full with all the other budget sh*t within the first year of his term that he won't even want to open up the current transit plans ball of wax. (Not to mention, he would still need councils support on changing transit plans, and that wouldn't...

No, what Ford said was that if he couldn't redirect funds or sell off the streetcars, he'd stick with the current (TC & new streetcar) plans. And that is pretty much what will happen. He's indifferent to the transit (except for when it gets in the way of cars) so, to him, this is a non-issue...

No worries, MM, so was the bogus garbage poll CTV was pandering at noon.. your's, is probably more scientific as to the 3 or 4 ppl they probably talked to before deciding it was ready to share their stellar find with the world!

I dunno, I think the support still breaks out pretty close to the 2003 Miller/Tory election.. except for Pantalone getting in the way of some wards... which still could be an upset for Ford.

How can they? Its bogus! He's not even trying to cover up its a joke. Btw, I just got the REAL numbers: Smitherman - 33 Ford - 31 Pants- 10 and a whole bunch of undecideds. These numbers are based on my own poll, which is based on the lady that came to more door at around 4pm, campaigning for...

Of course, he quotes the source as being the muppets bloopers video.. it's a joke

Well done, guys!

There's no point responding to Peepers, he's clearly not familiar with any of the candidates platforms and feasibility, including Ford's. I guess he's just over the moon at stopping the gravy train, which, judging from his posts, I'm not sure he understands what that means, if anything, or its...

because rob ford's nothing in 2015, is still nothing in 2020.. both were re-branded as 2020.

The plan is for PRESTO to now handle both... Kathleen Wynne announced this last week. (From what I read) The generation that TTC will get on their TC lines, etc, will be equipped with that - if PRESTO can keep to their timelines.

Colvis, this is the third instance in the past few pages where you've completely misquoted Smitherman's policy.. go read it (here it is ONE MORE TIME: http://www.georgesmitherman.ca/) and then come back and add your rebuttals, otherwise, you just don't know what you're talking about.

Well, isn't that what the polls are doing now? Again, that latest one is a bit of a red herring since it occured over the same period of others, was random, and polled few ppl.. so it would average out to the same.

So nfitz, what's your 30 thousand ft overview of this election going in on Monday? You're probably one of the most realistic, grounded and sensible posters on this forum (and not just in this thread but on the other transit and projects ones too).. A lot of us respect your POV.

Well, there are people on this forum that did.. so...

Because when you get the polls that are 'randomly' selecting households.. they're not reflecting this proportionately.. come on, you know this stuff! what were the polls like right before Miller went into the election?

And the real true biting irony is, the seniors/baby boomers/tax burdened families/immigrants that are rumoured to be supporting him, are signing their own death warrant in killing off these routes that they'd probably be relying on.

Well, now you have. http://www.georgesmitherman.ca/issues.html?phpMyAdmin=4fd261466f9425ac00f4b10757a0f5bb#movingagain
